Assuming that the new E-W station will be built, this seems the least bad option for new housing, but:-
a) it needs to be tied in with an integrated plan for the future development of St Neots involving all the local authorities involved;
b) given its proximity to the river, the conditions relating to biodiversity are crucial. The developers/Council should obtain input from eg the Wildlife Trust so that nature is planned in from the outset not as an add-on.
